Wiim app working on android Tv

[rodrigo2166]

you have to download the WiiM home apk app from a third party App Store. I got it from the Aurora store. Once it is installed on your device (nvidia shield) you’ll need to use a remote control app to navigate past the couple of pages to find your WiiM device.
I use the nvidia shield Tv remote app for this.
Hope that makes sense.

Thanks for the info, I've been casting my phone screen to my TV because I couldn't side load the wiim app to my shield. I'll download aurora app tonight to try it out.

i'm stuck at the initial Wiim home app first screen where it says "all your content in one App". using the shield remote app on my phone i cant seem to figure out how to swipe past these initial screens.

btw i used "TV Bro" app from the app store, it opens a web browser and you go to the https://wiimhome.com/app site, hit download the android apk. install the home app. thats the easy part.

edit... ok using the nvidia shield tv remote app i figured it out. using the swipe remote you have to hold down the left click and swipe at the same time.

so its not the greatest. it loads up in vertical mode like the app on your phone. meh at best.
any tips to optimize the viewing/usage or just wait for wiim to release a real android tv version?

If you downloaded to apk screen orientation that will do it.

does the nvidia remote work or do we still need to use the remote app on my phone?

I'd like an update from Wiim about when they're going to release the android version of the display app.

Does the Wiim Home tv app (official tvOS or the apk installed onAndroid Tv) work as a "real" now playing screen? I mean, same as Roon display or LMS/Daphile display showing the current track while changing tracks from smartphone/tablet app?

I think it displays in portrait mode - looks strange. I may be wrong.

Apologize for my english. The TV displays from Roon and Daphile shows the current track you are playing. Changing track from Roon/Daphile smartphone/tablet app, the TV display automatically updates showing the new track. I wonder if the tv WIIM app does the same or it's a stand alone app, only showing on the TV screen the track you play using the TV app itself.
